like.

Vi e are aware of the fact that it has heretofore been proposed toprovide Winding reels for this purpose but an inspection. of theaccompanying drawing and a perusal of the following description willmake it clear that We do not contemplate the provision of any such reelbut upon the contrary, We make-the hub of the Wheel serve as a windingdrum and We merely provide a simple and inexpensive guide disk adaptedto be the usual Further objects and advantages of the in vention Willbeset forth in the detailed description which now follows.

In the accompanying: drawing Figure lis a view partlyfin edge elevationa-ndpartly in section of aigu'ide disk and theassociated hub cap, and Ii Fig. 2 is a side elevation illustrating" the application of, theinvention.

Like numerals designate corresponding parts in both of. the figures ofthe drawing.

Referring to the drawing,

of thepresent invention consists of a disk is provided cap is of hub ofthe.

ahead of the vehicle, said ve-' it. will be seen. that the deviceforming the subject matter tl'lrough the disk 5 and screws into the hubcap 6 and bythis bolt the disk is held upon. the hub cap.- The Wheel maybe a rear or driving wheel of a motor vehicle 14. The outer edges ofdisk. 5 are outwarlilly curved at 15 to adapt them to guide a cableintothe space lying imrardly of the disk so that the hub p and. hub arecaused to constitute a winding drui'n upon which a cable 16 may be woundwhen POWQL is imparted to the driving wheel 13 to cause it to rotate inthe direction oi the arrow at. If the end of the cab. be attached to astake 17 or other fixed object, it is apparent that the vehicle may, bythe means shown, be drawn out of a mudhole. a

It is to lie-understood that the invention .is'not limited to theprecise construction set forth but that such changes and modificationsinay be resorted to as fairly come Within the spirit of the appended.claims.

Haring described our invention What we claim is: g

1. The combination with a Vehicle Wheel. having a hub said hub includinga hub cap, of a disk of much greater "diameter than the hub cap andmeans for securing said disk to said hub cap, in such position that thedisk serves to guide a cable upon-said hub cap and hub. a

-2. In the device of the character described,

the combination with the hub cap having an angular portion. ofa disk ofmuch greater diameter than the hub cap having an angular recess to fitupon said portionand ineans traversing said disk and the hub can forholding the disk upon the hubcap.

In testimony whereof We aliix our sigma-- tures in the presence oftwowitnessas. ARTHUR "WILSON.
